Our current activities build on the BGS’s extensive research experience in this region, contributing to welfare and future economic growth by the responsible use of natural resources.
Studying the structural and compositional characterisation of rocks and their constituent parts at all scales.
Research in these laboratories focuses on understanding fluid (water, gas and solutes) movement and rock deformation in the subsurface.
Addressing issues related to the sustainability of water resources and quality, and the effects of environmental change on the water cycle, natural hazards, and human health.
BGS undertakes research to better understand the potential for using groundwater as a renewable geothermal energy source.
The BGS is involved in research to understand eruptive processes and implications for tsunami initiation at Krakatau.
Identifying communities that are particularly vulnerable to future earthquake hazards.
Since the 1960s, the BGS has amassed considerable geochemical data holdings and developed significant expertise in applied geochemistry.
